You say you want a revolution?
We have to be careful of the exact measures used to correct this situation.
Once we use them, we know the Left will when they get the chance.
We wouldn’t have liked it if Obama came in and dismissed the court. We simply can’t do that.
What we could do is build a case against Roberts incompetence, based on his actions to in effect legislate from the bench. He is open to review on that.
The Leftists on the court could be too.
What opens Roberts up, is his actions related to Obamacare where he simply changed legislation by judicial edict.
You can’t legally do that. He’s unfit to remain in his position. That needs to be based on the legality of what he did.
I don’t know if I would get rid of the court but it certainly needs major reform.
I’m glad to hear Jindal and Cruz raising hell over it.
It would take over a lifetime to form such a consensus.
Remember all the talk of secession after the 2012 elections?
It takes a lot of work and solid support for something like this to get off the ground. Not saying it’s impossible, but we would first have to educate the 47% on what we feel has happened to the country, and what we feel eliminating the Surpreme Court could do for (not just to) the stability of the country.
Who should the ultimate arbiter of these big issues be?
The court has become too easily manipulated, and given its concentration of power, it was doomed from the start to be the target of manipulations.
I would not entrust the majority either to pass judgement on these issue, but perhaps a supermajority (2/3 - 3/4)?
But the founders never intended for these issues to come under the federal government. Need to go back to basics - with most of the power in the local governments.
Congress could raise the number of justices on the court to 100 and require 2 from each state.
I’ll follow Bobby!!
Dumb statement. He wants to be president?
That would be much bigger and much more consequential than any other amendment to the Constitution.
There is no solution. Individuals are appointed by the president and approved by congress. Is there any chance they will put individuals on the court who are completely unbiased and unpolitical?
The answer is a U.S. Constitutional Amendment. Or Article V Convention.
Currently is is staffed by political bodies that are in control in Washington with very little input by the opposing body. This is a menu for the appointees to be part of the same political body. Makes it worthless to interpret the law.
A lot of lefties would be sh*tting bricks if a Trump/Jindal ticket erupted from the Republicrat convention.
One dictator in a 5-4 decision can destroy God’s plan for the human family. Our nation, the Babylon of Revelation, will be destroyed, drowning in her own putrid rebellion against God. “Be not deceived. God is not mocked.”
Congress has the right to impeach any court member for acting badly. I know going against the constitution is acting badly. When will the congress do its job??
Idiotic suggestion.
Maybe a campaign saying that we no longer need the House & Senate since the USSC does whatever they want might get the attention of some career politicians.
Yes, but he wasn’t suggesting that we get rid of the Supreme Court...just that pointing out that if the Court is simply a rubber stamp for the zeitgeist, aka, the Democratic Party, we could save some money and get rid of it because it’s not doing what it was intended to do.
DE-FUND the feral givernment by 80% and everything will take care of itself..
When theres little money.. where it does (and doesn’t) go becomes very important..
SURE there will still be GRAFT.... BUT the graftees will start killing each other off.. jailing each other.. and robbing each other..
Price of popcorn should go thru the roof..
It’s not the court. Its the media. Topple the wire services and the big three networks, and replace them with actual journalists who can reason and gather actual facts and perform actual analysis, and liberty will have a chance.
Can we not take down the AP? Can we not take down the Huffington Post? Can we not ridicule and mock and ultimately remove the local editors at 10,000 local radio, television, and newspaper outlets (with AP and other wire feeds) across the 50 states?
Take down the AP and we will make a HUGE difference. If we don’t, we can topple the next ten Obamas and middle America will simply replace them with ten more Obamas.
It’s the media, stupid.
